"McConico tried to create space with punches and knees, but Susurkaev stayed glued to him. When McConico finally broke free, he landed a sharp uppercut and immediately went back to pressuring, even connecting with a heavy leg kick that spun Susurkaev briefly. McConico clinched up again along the fence, but Susurkaev reversed once more and forced him into wrestling exchanges. McConico repeatedly popped back to his feet after takedowns, but Susurkaev refused to give him any room to reset."
"McConico landed a clean 1-2 combination and Susurkaev fired back with an overhand right and a nasty body shot then right hand. It looked like the young man finally woke up to fight. His activity level forced McConico on the back foot and Susurkaev took advantage landing a heavy knee to the body until McConico landed a bad groin shot that forced the ref to call a timeout."
McConico opened aggressively, firing punches and driving Susurkaev into the fence while exchanging knees and clinches. Susurkaev repeatedly reversed position, answered with knees, and forced wrestling exchanges that kept McConico from resetting. McConico landed a sharp uppercut and a heavy leg kick but faced constant pressure and pacing. In round two both exchanged clean strikes as Susurkaev increased activity, landing an overhand and body shots and a heavy knee that shifted momentum. A groin strike briefly halted action, and McConico continued to land heavy shots and elbows but could not fully halt Susurkaev's forward pressure and control.
